Chapter 124: Having Someone to Cherish You Is Truly Pampering

"In short, it's something bad."

Bai Shuruo looked at him and said, "That still depends on the degree of this badness, and specifically where it's bad; you certainly can't go around killing people or setting fires."

Han Yangting smiled.

Bai Shuruo then threw herself into his arms and added, "Then you must not do anything to let me down, okay?"

He held her tighter and kissed her again.

Having stayed abroad for nearly a month, it was already June when she returned to the country.

Bai Shuruo also had to return to Fengcheng; firstly, to bring some souvenirs for Bai Shunan, Bai Shuhua, and Lin Wanfen, and secondly, because of graduation defense at school, as well as the graduation ceremony and so on.

"Ruoruo, I heard Han Yangting's family is suuuuper rich, is that true?"

While at the old house, Lin Wanfen looked at Bai Shuruo with envy.

The current Bai Shuruo was a completely different person from before she was married; her speech and manners were poised and graceful, and her eyes were full of confidence. At a glance, she was someone who lived a life with purpose and goals, and who was cherished by someone.

Bai Shuruo smiled and said, "There is quite a lot of money, though I'm not clear on exactly how much. If Aunt Fen is curious, why not go to Beishi for a visit sometime? You can ask when you get there; I'd like to know, too."

"This..." Lin Wanfen thought for a moment and added, "I won't go. Sigh, I heard your mother-in-law is a powerful career woman. If I go, how would that be any different from Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden? I'd just end up embarrassing you."

Bai Shuruo said, "What's wrong with that? Since we're relatives, we should visit each other."

"Then... then let's wait until after Shuhua finishes her high school entrance exam next year and see."

"Why wait so long? When sister has time, you can both come together. The Han family are all very nice; they aren't scary at all."

Lin Wanfen brushed her bangs and added, "Fine, we'll talk about it later."

When it came down to it, she was both a little tempted to go and a little afraid to go.

Although she had insisted on fighting for this old house earlier because it had been agreed that the old house was for her, she did not covet anything from Bai Shuruo's in-laws. She was just curious about what it felt like to live in a Castle.

Bai Shuruo took out the gifts for Lin Wanfen, a whole box full of them, including skincare products, sea cucumber, and so on.

Lin Wanfen accepted them while saying happily, "Why give me so many things? You two are truly thoughtful."

"It was all prepared by Brother Han; I'm not very good at choosing gifts." Bai Shuruo's pride was impossible to hide as she praised Han Yangting now.

There was another box of gifts for Bai Shuhua, containing books and discs, which would both help with her studies and broaden her horizons. There were also many clothes and shoes from sports brands, all limited editions. Bai Shuruo had opposed buying such expensive things for a middle school student, but Han Yangting said that if she used good things, she would work even harder in the future.

Lin Wanfen accepted the gifts, and then her eyes turned red: "Ruoruo, you say both you sisters are so successful; your father in the netherworld must be so happy."

Bai Shuruo hugged Lin Wanfen and added, "Aunt Fen, you are also amazing. You raised Shuhua, and we two sisters were well taken care of by you, too. Father feels just as gratified by you."

Lin Wanfen smiled: "Let's not talk about this. By the way, when are you going back to Beishi? If you have time, have your sister come back for a meal too, okay?"

"Sure, I'll go ask sister tomorrow."

The next day.

Bai Shuruo carried the gifts to Doudou New Energy Automobile Company.

As soon as she returned, quite a few old colleagues looked at her with envious eyes.

"Supervisor Bai, you are getting prettier and prettier."

"I heard you quit your job to enjoy life with your husband. Sure enough, a woman who is cherished lives a pampered life."

"..."

Bai Shuruo smiled and responded all the way, finally arriving at Bai Shunan's office.

"Sister, I'm back!"

Bai Shunan had originally been busy, but as soon as she saw Bai Shuruo, she immediately put down her work and stood up.

"Wow, Ruoruo, you really are getting prettier and prettier."

"How so? I'm not as pretty as you, sister."

"Can you even compare things like this? Everyone has their own beautiful side. People can only compare themselves to themselves. Look at this new haircut of yours; it must be the work of a top international stylist. And this outfit of yours... it's Dior."

"Dior?"

"You don't know?"

"I'm not very clear on it. The house is full of these clothes; I can't even wear them all." Bai Shuruo's words sounded very "Versailles"; if it were anyone else, they might get beaten, but Bai Shunan knew her sister's temperament.

Bai Shunan was happy for her, "It's not just the clothes; you look radiant as a whole. Your skin is a little tanned, but you look healthier overall."

Bai Shuruo smiled and set the box of gifts down for Bai Shunan: "Sister, I brought you gifts; they were all bought abroad."

Bai Shunan was not very interested in the gifts, so she still held Bai Shuruo's hand and said, "Quick, tell me, how did you spend those two months in Beishi?"

"I worked at Brother Han's company for a month, and then I went abroad with him. That's all. Life was quite fulfilling; it felt like a dream."

"As long as you're happy and fulfilled. I know now what kind of company your Brother Han's family has; his family are true big shots. For a family like his to not have you sign a prenuptial agreement, it must be true love."

Bai Shuruo thought about it and realized it really was.

If they were to divorce, how much family property would he have to split with her?

It was probably more than she could spend in a lifetime.

Bai Shuruo added, "Sister, I went to Aunt Fen's house yesterday. She asked when you'd be free to go to the old house for a meal together."

Bai Shunan said, "How about the day after tomorrow? I happen to be free then."

When Bai Shuruo came out, she passed by her former office.

According to Bai Shunan, Meng Ze was still at the company, and now all design matters were handled by him; his work ability was quite strong.

So Bai Shuruo did not mention that Meng Ze also wanted to go to Beishi; perhaps he was just being polite and making a joke.

Bai Shuruo hesitated at the office door for a while, then decided not to go in and greet Meng Ze. She had already resigned, and she feared she would have no further connection with him in the future.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Meng Ze's voice from behind: "Supervisor Bai!"

Bai Shuruo turned around and saw Meng Ze, who had just come out of the pantry; he was still holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

He walked toward her, still with that roguish, handsome look: "I heard Supervisor Bai was back. I originally thought you would come back to see me, but I didn't expect you to be leaving without even saying hello."

Bai Shuruo smiled awkwardly and said again: "I originally wanted to go in and see you, but I didn't bring a gift, and I was afraid you would say I lacked sincerity, so I thought I'd bring a gift next time I came to see you."

Meng Ze raised an eyebrow: "Supervisor Bai has become slippery after a trip to Beishi; you lie without blushing or skipping a beat, and you don't even need to draft it anymore."

Bai Shuruo laughed generously: "Then shall I treat you to a milk tea outside?"

"Fine," Meng Ze said: "Wait for me, I'll go in and put away this cup of instant, tasteless coffee."

Bai Shuruo was amused by his appearance.

There was a dessert shop right at the company entrance.

After Bai Shuruo and Meng Ze sat down, she took out her phone to order online, "Meng Ze, what do you want to drink?"

Meng Ze said: "Whatever, as long as it's drinkable."

"Then I'll have the same as me." She ordered two lemon teas.

Bai Shuruo still felt a little guilty toward Meng Ze, and she said: "I'm sorry, Meng Ze. With me leaving like this, you have to be responsible for the company's design work all by yourself."

Meng Ze looked indifferent: "With you gone, there's no one above me; isn't that even better? Besides, how could work be more important than a husband? You are right to pursue your own happiness."

Bai Shuruo asked again: "Then you mentioned before that you wanted to go to Beishi; do you still have that plan now?"

"We'll see. A person always has to go out and venture. If I really go, you'll have to look after me then; you can't just leave without saying a word like you did just now."

At this moment, the lemon teas arrived. Bai Shuruo pushed one of the cups in front of Meng Ze and said again: "I'm really sorry. Let this cup of lemon tea be my apology to you. If you come to Beishi in the future, you must look for me."

"I heard your husband also runs a company in Beishi. Does his company lack people?" Meng Ze took a sip of tea, appearing nonchalant, and added: "Tell me, could someone like me go work at his company?"
